Bob Dylan Places Gag / Confidentiality Order On James Damiano Then Accepts Medal of Freedom Award
IN DYLANS OWN WORDS ~ HIS CONFESSION ~ "IM NOT A MELODIST"
In my opinion this is how Steel Guitars was turned into Dignity, if that's not plagiarism, they had better change the definition of plagiarism, in our dictionary….
“Well you have to understand that I'M NOT A MELODIST." My songs are either based on old Protestant hymns or Carter Family songs or variations of the blues form. What happens is, I’ll take a song and simply start playing it in my head. That’s the way I meditate.”
“I wrote ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’ in 10 minutes, just put words to an old spiritual, probably something I learned from Carter Family records. That’s the folk music tradition – you use what has been handed down. ‘The Times They Are A-Changing’ is probably from an old Scottish folk Song.”……..Bob Dylan
"I'll be playing Bob Nolan's 'Tumbling Tumbleweeds,' for instance, in my head constantly — while I'm driving a car or talking to a person or sitting around or whatever. People will think they are talking to me and I'm talking back, but I'm not. I'm listening to the song in my head. At a certain point, some of the words will change and I'll start writing a song."…….Bob Dylan

Hypocritical of Bob Dylan, allowing one's self to be honored with The Medal of Freedom Award after placing a confidentiality / gag order on James Damiano. Freedom of Speech, our most basic freedom as individuals, taken away by Bob Dylan at will.
